Notes on Film

“This is a story about the Bermejo River with an emotional and somewhat unpredictable gaze. We will see navigation, water, animals, towns, people, and boats. We are not only seeking spectacularity but also trying to express the daily life of a region. We seek the essence of the river, as its culture and environment are hidden and partly threatened.”

– Renan Aparicio, Director
